I was thinking to myself "Damn, sure wish I knew what the name of that song was - - Mom & Dad had the only version I'd ever heard on a freakin' multi-artist 8-Track!". (Obviously, I was so bummed, thinking no one would know what it was - - especially if I tried to click the tune to them, they'd think I was bat-shit crazy.)

      It really has a ton of early nineties trance styles, it has cafe del mar feelings to it, which is probably the most remixed dance track in the 90s, and that boomtang remix feels like it occurred at a pivotal moment in the trance rave scene. It sounds like a solid connection between generations of electronic music, so I'm glad to have found it.

      El alemán Gershon Kingsley, un nonagenario precursor del uso del mítico sintetizador Moog, compuso a los 47 años de edad una canción cuyo ritmo, supuestamente, imita el sonido del maíz al estallar y convertirse en palomita: “popcorn”. Parece ser que Kingsley estaba escuchando el sonido de una máquina de hacer palomitas cuando se le ocurrió componer una melodía que imitase ese ruido. Así nació el primer éxito electrónico de la historia.

      I think Even Hot Butter's version can't Beat the original Kingsley '69 piece, The original 1969 version has a very important melodic (and a Little psychedelic) sense that makes the song more relaxing and enjoyable to listen to (at least For me), i think it was really the first Synthpop song, The other versions, since First Moog Quartet and Hot Butter to the muppets' swedish chef Version, or whatever, are more... More, ¿How can i say it?... Danceable, more disco, or at least I Feel that. And That's why I think the Kingsley's original Pop Corn is the Best version of this masterpiece.

    I'd been familiar with this tune for years without knowing its name or who originally performed it. I still like the original Gershon Kingsley 1969 version best. Can put it on a loop and listen to it for hours. It is like a perfectly composed micro-symphony, fresh and catchy eternally.
    But that said, I dig the peppier moog quartet and hot butter versions Kingsley subsequently recorded, and Wunderlich's smoother take nearly as much. As some had posted, the timing is essential, even if altered a bit.
